The growth of the laser cutting machines market is driven by the rising adoption of industry 4.0 technologies such as automation, data analytics, and the Internet of Things (IoT) are assisting in maximizing the efficiency of laser cutting machinery due to the real-time information exchange that enables optimum output by enabling operators to monitor and manage their production processes. Manufacturers aim to improve operating cost-efficiency, decrease downtime, and enhance production.

Another factor supporting the market growth of laser cutting machines is expanding due to the increased human-machine connection provided by industry 4.0 solutions, which is enhancing quality, productivity, and energy efficiency. Additionally, the early notification of the machine operation status provided by predictive analysis is promoting manufacturers to invest in industry 4.0 solutions by significantly lowering maintenance and replacement costs. This is expected to propel the market growth.

The emergence of fiber laser cutting is further expected to support the market growth of laser-cutting machinery. Fiber laser cutting devices are frequently employed in macro-processing applications with millimeter-level precision, such as cutting and welding industrial metals. Given the high demand for laser equipment, the market potential for macro processing is greater than that for micro processing. Fiber lasers are frequently employed in macro processing, which is the processing of objects whose size and shape have a laser beam influence range of millimeters, due to their high output power.

Fiber laser cutting boosts advantages such as precise, high-quality cuts, improved process for micro cutting, and shaping structural steel, positioning them as the preferred choice among the manufacturers. Additionally, the traction of fiber laser cutting equipment is fueled by several key features, including their ergonomics, quick operation, and high power safety. Most of these machines employ pre-focused optical systems with suitable deflection lenses, improving focus accuracy, laser light transmission, and machine performance. Thus, the emergence of new cutting technologies is driving the market growth.

The high cost of laser-cutting machinery coupled with high power consumption is a major restraint hindering the market growth. The high cost of the machinery components, such as water tubes, laser generators, and laser lenses, and their overall maintenance cost is another factor that affects the growth. Furthermore, when heated at high temperatures, cutting polymers such as Polytetrafluoroethylene and other metals releases harmful gases such as phosgene gas. This is another disadvantage restraining the industry’s growth.
